I have only passed threw there a couple times. That whole province is too cold in the winter for me. I suppose it has it's run down areas, what place doesn't? From what I understand, there is a very large Indian [our Indians, not imports] population in Sask.

Ah, but ours is special. Thanks to "The Hood", we usually have the highest or second-highest per capita crime rate in the country, including the highest car theft rate, murder rate, prostitution rate, and second-highest rate of gang membership in the country. Sometimes we fall to #2, with Saskatoon and their similar ghetto taking the top spot in some categories, particularly the murder rate.

Indeed, there are 20,000 indians in Regina alone... Hence the aforementioned. If you get APTN (the indian channel), check out a tv show called "Moccasin Flats". It's filmed on-location in The Hood.

Thanks to the indians, Whites are fleeing inner Regina in droves. East Regina (east of the Ring Road, which divides the inner city from the 'burbs) is now a second city basically, with more services than Regina proper ever had. Only time most Whites go into town is to work in some office job--usually government services pertaining to babysitting the indians. It's amazing. When I lived in Edmonton, I just didn't see that kind of "White Flight" from downtown. The opposite, in fact. Lovely city, hope I move back after I graduate from looniversity.

Just for curiosity's sake, what tribe are your Indians? Back in Ontario, there are mostly Mohawks. You don't hear too much about them. The only injuns that are ever mentioned lately are those Dudley George ones near Ipperwash. They are one of the small tribes, don't know much about them.
The Indians around here on "The Island" are a docile looking bunch. They seem to be pretty harmless. I think they are quite happy with their lot in life. Gordo, [BC] and Federal Liberals, take good care of them.

I moved into Saskatoon after I graduated, and I know what you're talking about concerning the natives. My sister's bect friend was robbed by one, less than a block from her house. The problem is the provinces of SK/MB cater to these people, and then they walk all over us. Out here in Alberta, we don't put up with that crap, which is why we don't have many natives in our city. They are the only group I truly HATE, and that's saying a lot.

Yeah, my first impression of Regina was when I got off the Voyageur bus at 6 a.m. and FIVE drunken Indians approached me asking if I would buy them breakfast! Aaaaargh!
The white people there are pretty great, though. Extremely helpful and friendly.

Figures. The Indians are a bunch of drunkards, at least the ones we have here in the US are. As far as I know, these people are put on a pedestal, they get to have casinos on their reservations tax-free and get a free college education if they are 1/8 Indian.

In history classes you often hear how badly the white man treated the Indian, my regret is that more of them were not killed off, especially those ugly Aztec and Maya Indians from Southern Mexico who illegally immigrate here in droves.

While on the topic of indians, ever notice there's something wrong with every single one of them? Weather they're drunks, crackheads, deadbeat dads welfare mommas or combinations of the above. What is it with them? I mean even some darkies have enough sense to get jobs but indians? They'd rather just sit around, play video games and drink beer waiting for their welfare and indian benefit checks to arrive in the mail.

And for the deadbeat dad part, I know all about that. My sister laid down with a chug and had not one, but two kids with this worthless peice of garbage. The guy's 23 years old, has NEVER had a real job, ever. Doesn't even have his grade 9, and is a jailbird. And on top of all that, he doesn't give a **** about his kids. He just comes and goes as he pleases, spending most of his time on the reserve outside of London.

Me and my brother have talked abou knocking some sense into the peice of crap but more than likely, he'd sick his chug friends on us, or we'd be charged with a 'hate' crime.

And you wanna hear how much of a genious this guy is? He missed the last bus one night so instead of walking or calling a cab, the guy steals a Lexus SUV and surprise, surprise, is pulled over by a cop and halled away to jail for 10 months. :

When he got out, he was pissed off at my sister because she had to hawk his precious XBox so she could buy groceries.
